3.01 Academic Credit

The District will provide students/families with regular notice of the academic standards required to graduate from the District. This information will be distributed annually to middle and high school students during the enrollment process and in student/parent handbooks and will include details regarding:

  • Number and types of credits needed to graduate;

  • Minimum enrollment requirements;

  • Standardized assessments;

  • Proficiency based promotion; and

  • Concurrent enrollment options.

Students/families are expected to work with the assigned counselor to ensure that their student meets all the necessary requirements for successful completion of the District’s program.  

Internships, Apprenticeships, and Mentorships

High school sophomores, juniors and seniors may also obtain up to one (1) unit of elective credit per semester by participating in an internship, apprenticeship, or mentorship experience. The following requirements must be met in order to participate:

  • The student must make advance arrangements with the Jenks High School Site Principal or designee. These arrangements must address, at a minimum, issues such as the experience’s learning objectives and evaluation, scheduling, and other issues which the Site Principal or designee deems appropriate to the situation.

  • The students’ parent/guardian must consent, in writing to program participation

  • The student and his or her parent/guardian must assume responsibility for all transportation to and from the program site.

  • The student’s participation in the program must not create scheduling conflicts, excessive absences, or otherwise impede the student’s overall academic progress.

Program sites are required to agree in advance to adhere to reasonably accepted safety standards, conform to the District’s non-discrimination commitment, supervise the student in a meaningful experience, and regularly evaluate the student’s performance.

A fully-completed, written program plan must be on file with the Site Principal or designee prior to the student’s first day of participation in the program.
